Out of the blue, a blue-haired first-year decides to ask MC out, in typical anime fashion. A girl whom this guy has no prior knowledge of just shoots her shot.

When I first saw GF GF reception, and how everyone thought it was cringe or some bs takes up space for no reason, I instantly knew that this was something for me to watch. For some reason, anything with an illogical nature or dumb premise (or just a low mean score) seems to be frowned upon just because it is dumb and cringe and bluepilled. But some anime are dumb on purpose, so I don't understand why stupid anime are taken so seriously, because that isn't the way they are meant to be judged upon, a b カノジョも彼女（１） (in Japanese). Kodansha.

For years I’ve waited for a romcom series with an MC who’s not afraid of women, embraces their advances and takes risks. Finally, after all this time I have one.

Despite Naoya's loud voice, which can be grating at times, his overall character arc is one of growth and self-awareness. He learns to be more considerate of others and to express his feelings in a more mature way.

Retrieved June 30, 2023. Naoya gets the girl. Equal parts daft and earnest, he's been pursuing his childhood friend Saki for years. In the first year of high school she accepts his feelings, and the two start out on their adorkable relationship. He's still as infatuated with his longtime crush as he's ever been, she's smitten by his sheer earnestness. The pair share a funny chemistry, thanks to comic misunderstandings and exaggerated declarations of love for one another. It'd be fun to see a story of these getting worked-up over every tiny thing in their blossoming relationship. The protagonist is such a un-interesting plank of wood he has to literally cheat and get a god to brainwash the girl's he encounters to blindly fall for him, which is already rather ethically questionable...and by doing so removes any of the tension and fun banter that a harem dynamic usually provides. if there is not much of a story, just a setting that you let characters loose in. What I can say is that unlike many shoujo-ai, Girl Friends takes a much more “true to life” approach, on the girl/ girl romance. The approach is fresh, interesting and helps the audience relate. The only complaint here is the amount of small talk involved can sometimes be too much.The manga is filled with creative expressions and dialogues that add to the overall hilarity. The characters' facial expressions are exaggerated and often accompanied by comical sound effects, further emphasizing the humor of the situations. Now, harems usually aren’t the best place to find a realistic way for someone to fall in love with others, and I’m conscious of that, but in other series they had this bare minimum of “he helped her in a time of need”, which you can just go and credit the suspension bridge experiment or some shit that will make you feel there is a justification, but in fact, these girls literally fall in love with him because the guy fell too strongly for another girl, that is literally the case with both Nagisa and Shino. And I mean, telling you Nagisa is interesting in any possible way you look at her is pretty much wrong, she is the first one to be introduced and is completely devoted to Naoya since the first moment, she is there to be quite perfect in what she does except in having a brain, she goes from this girl that doesn’t know what she wants to do to a girl who wants to cook, and I just summarized her whole character across the entire manga, I don’t dislike simple characters, but the fact I can barely talk about her despite being the actual reason why the plot existed in the first place comes out as a little sad. This is very clearly a hit-or-miss series; you are either going to love it or hate it. Even someone like me, who absolutely adores the show now, had a rough time sitting through the first episode. It wasn't because of the "dumb always equals bad" mentality that most people seem to have, but because of how awkward I found the circumstances to be. There's another major reason behind my initial dislike for the show, but I will get to that in a bit. Naoya Mukai is a high school student who has recently begun dating his childhood friend Saki Saki. One day, another classmate of his named Nagisa Minase decides to confess her feelings to him. After some initial hesitation, he accepts her request to be her boyfriend as well. Naoya decides that he will have both Saki and Nagisa as girlfriends at the same time. As Naoya currently lives alone due to his parents living elsewhere for work, Saki and Nagisa decide to live with him. The series follows their daily school life, as Naoya, Saki, and Nagisa experience difficulties and challenges in maintaining their non-monogamous relationship.
